This Before and After video was shot at a recent school, the student was aware of his over-swing and the inconsistency the steepness caused. Gary talks about impact shape and posture, and how maintaining it can fix over-hinging and swings that are ‘gravity fed’.
This student had problems store-up and pulling the ball. He had difficult compressing the ball and playing in the wind. This pattern is a very common pattern that originates from low hands and an inverted turn pattern.
Getting the right side working around the left, and the correct wrist angles at impact are issues most of us struggle with. In this lesson Gary explains how you to stop clearing the left side on the downswing and fixes this students path and wrist angles post impact.
In this video Gary explains to a student why he cannot lift his arms and the importance of having the correct body shape. Without the throwing shape the arms cannot lift and drop. Gary demonstrates the correct body and arm direction.
Gary uses the hill drill to give this student a feeling of the new motion. The before and after comparisson shows how the different body shapes affect transition.
This student did not like his steep downswing and deep divots. In this lesson Gary explains how the shape of the body determines the swing radius and path in transition from back to down. To get it right you need to have the correct arm radius and turn direction going back.
Part 2
Many students get the shape close but if the head and spine are not right it can create the look of too much shape and stop them being able to turn in the right direction. In this lesson Gary explains how the correct head angle and body shape are essential if you are going to […]
The overswing is generally caused from bad concepts and as Gary says cannot be stopped by thinking “swing shorter”. This video has all the keys to the right sided swing, body shape, the clubface /body realationship and the main principles of turn direction.
The ability to find impact is a trait all good players have. Many of them do it from vastly different positions going back. This video was taken at a recent seminar Gary did prior to last years Open at St Andrews. It has a bit of everything but will help if you understand the starting shape and […]
The correct Arm Bias at set-up is crucial in determining the shape of the body and how the arms work during the swing. If your grip looks wrong then your arms are probably wrong! There are a quite a few videos inside the Members Area that go into detail about the correct Arm Bias and […]
If you move out of your original Body Shape you will need a bigger lateral move across in transition. Many of the older players used to have big lateral moves. We have just uploaded a new video. Enjoy!

The Set-up of Peter Thomson is legendary! Commentators used to talk about his customary low right shoulder but there is much more to learn from the set-up angles and arm bias of this five-time Open Champion. This month in the Members Area Gary looks at the reasons some students shut-off with their shoulders when trying […]
One of the most overlooked principles in the Golf Swing is perhaps the most important! The correct arm bias at set-up is crucial in determining the Shape of the body and how the arms work during the swing. Most people who leak power set-up with their right arm straight and then over-shape or invert […]
Getting setup correctly is crucial if you want to turn correctly. If the right side of the body gets blocked it is impossible to turn in the correct direction and maintain your Shape. Most right-side blockers set up with backward hips and toe their right foot in. This month Gary explains how to free up […]
Gary often says “release is for prisoners”! What he means is that you do not need to change your initial wrist angles to “release” the club. This month in the Member Area Gary demonstrates the Toe-up Draw and explains how to shape your ball without extending your arms and flipping your wrists. We also have […]
Doing the same thing on the course that you do in practice can be difficult. If you set the angles of your arms and wrists before you walk into the ball it makes it much easier to maintain your Shape on the tee-box. We have just posted some new video where Gary explains how his […]
